So last week I fished the editing for both The Witches Of Cara and Raiders Of The Iridium Caves. This means The Witches Of Cara (LIG6) will be available to purchase on Amazon before Halloween. How cool? Raiders Of The Iridium Caves was initially written as a thank you pdf to all Kickstarter backers of LIG6 and Ken Boyter’s book To Kill A Thief, but has now almost earned a contract to be printed by Savage Realms Press over in America. Backers will get their PDF copy first, and later on receive a physical paperback copy fully illustrated by SRP. (Thanks Troy!)

My next work will be written by both myself and my 8 year old daughter Cassia. I cannot wait to see our names on the same cover, and hope her little sister follows suit as well in the future. The Ascension Of Layna Masu will be the third book in the Pneuma saga, held somewhere between The Return To The Tavern On Gallows Hill and The Druids Of Pneuma. Jam out!

With the proof reading and playtesting of The Witches Of Cara coming to an end, I can divulge a short bonus adventure that will be sent out to everyone who backed this Kickstarter AND To Kill A Thief by K R Boyter. It will not be set in any known particular realm but similar, of course, to Pneuma, Titan, Middle Earth etc. The working title is Clear Out, but I’m sure I’ll come up with something better. It will also be written in the same way as LIG4, meaning it won’t take long. Speak soon… Jam x

It’s about time I started using YouTube a bit more. Come along and SUBSCRIBE to my channel for random fun and book news etc. https://m.youtube.com/@jamesahirons_

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a placid and fun-loving Daddy, care worker in a dementia unit,and charity fundraiser. Even ALL the royalties from my book sales go to charity. Each and every one of them. So if you have been kind enough to buy one of my titles, you have given to good causes. You have not fed me. You have not clothed me. You have not paid my bills. Any real fan or person that knows what they are talking about knows this. I salute you all, and hope you’ve enjoyed my work.

It is also important that I feel confident to continue, having had much of my self esteem smashed to pieces by one or two cretinous locals who had no idea what they were talking about either. Such people also exist online. It is imperative that I set healthy boundaries from these trolls and create a barrier of protection. Every normal human being should. It’s healthy. I have no time for trouble makers, drama queens and narcissists. I leave them to fall on their own swords. They hate their existence to the point they try to make others miserable too, whereas I embrace mine and try to keep people happy and content.

Have a lovely day.

Well, Paranormal Hero 3 is finally getting typed up, and quite a lot of visuals are already done. I’m still aiming for an October release. I haven’t fallen too far behind at all. Malcolm Barter is still on board to do the map, and is hopefully finishing off an original piece for the Kickstarter raffle. Hopefully I’ll start hearing from my filler artists soon as well. As a contingency I am hoping to also recruit Hamad Alnajjar for a few graphics as well. The Paranormal Hero series main illustrations are usually concocted by myself using photos and filters. I shall keep this going as people seem to enjoy the stark and bold gothic feel. See you soon. Jam out.

Just two more scenes left to write and I can start typing up The Witches Of Cara. Better still, I have been invited to contact the local paper about it, which is well worth a plug, being based in this very area. Leading on from this project, I am teaming up with K R Boyter to create a double bill adventure gamebook. Beyond that, a third Pneuma book is inevitable. Though damaged, I’m thriving, and owe it to so many people who have helped me through a turbulent time. X
